“Then the sabotage efforts, that we think were sabotage,” Bartiromo told Republican Rep. William Timmons of South Carolina. “[Trump] going on the escalator and the escalator stops, the teleprompter going down. What went on yesterday at the U.N. General Assembly, congressman?”
“Listen, the UN hasn't been in our corner for decades, and they're playing these fun little games,” Timmons replied.
UN officials responded diplomatically after Trump blamed them for his series of mishaps, explaining that the escalator incident was likely caused by someone in his entourage who accidentally triggered a safety mechanism while rushing ahead. As for the teleprompter issue, officials noted that those responsibilities are handled by White House personnel during presidential speeches. |
